We often eat without thinking too much about it in the moment, whether that’s snacking in front of the TV, or grabbing a quick and unhealthy lunch at our desks. Sometimes we eat when we’re not even hungry. 

Mindful eating involves being aware of how the food you eat makes you feel. Paying more attention to taste, texture and when you feel full can help you avoid overeating, improve your digestion, and make healthier choices. This in turn will support you in managing cravings, and improve the likelihood of you sticking to your diet and losing weight.
